President’s Message By

Mike Rogers, Jr. San Diego Chapter President

Safari Club International is the leader in protecting the freedom to hunt and promoting wildlife conservation worldwide. These primary missions are supported through the many arenas of our organization.

Since 2000, SCI has spent $140 million on protecting the freedom to hunt through policy advocacy, litigation, and education for federal and state legislators to ensure hunting is protected for future generations. Through direct involvement and partnerships with like-minded organizations, SCI has become a political force in Washington, D.C. and other world capitals.

When you become a member of SCI, you join a network of over 55,000 like-minded individuals all over the world. In San Diego, SCI currently has less than 200 chapter members, yet there are thousands of sportsmen and women who live in our community. Our goal is to grow our local chapter because we know there is strength in numbers. As we add new members we will increase the likelihood that our voice will be heard. In addition, we will also increase the opportunity to introduce what SCI stands for to our future generations of hunters and conservationists.

With whom would you like to share the gift of learning about San Diego SCI and what we stand for? Who do you know that would benefit from becoming a member of our San Diego Chapter of SCI?

Annually, the San Diego Chapter of Safari Club International hosts a fundraiser that provides SCI funding and protects our freedoms as hunters and fishermen. In April of 2017, SDSCI held its most successful fundraiser ever. Over 350 members and non-members attended the private event in Point Loma celebrating our service men and women. Attendees enjoyed the camaraderie of like-minded outdoorsmen and women, outstanding food, live and silent auctions, opportunity drawings for a variety of artwork and quality firearms, and most importantly, meeting some of America’s finest military personnel.

We are excited to announce the date and location of next year’s Auction event. The 2018 event will be held at the foot of Broadway on May 5th, so please mark your calendar now and join us for an evening to remember. And if you’re not already a member, I can assure you that you’ll want to become part of SCI – the organization that protects your freedom to hunt and promotes wildlife conservation.

So, You Want To Be a Hunting Guide?

Part 2: The Timeless Skills of a Guide

By Sy Gilliland, SNS Outfitter & Guides

The most important qualities of a hunting guide may not be immediately obvious. Sure, a guide needs to be a knowledgeable hunter. But that’s not first on the priority list. In the first part in this series, we covered two critical qualities that every hunting guide needs to have.

The first is a keen awareness of safety at all times. And the second is an unwavering commitment to ethics. Those two qualities form the foundation of a great guide. Now assuming a guide has those two things in place, what comes next? What else does it take to be a successful hunting guide?

Since receiving my first outfitting license in 1977, I’ve discovered that some components of being a successful guide have remained the same. In a lot of ways, the things that were true then still apply today. On the other hand, there are some things that have changed. Guides need a few things today that we didn’t back then.

In Part Two of this series, I’d like to look at those things that have remained consistent, the timeless skills of great hunting guides. Once again, the most important skill is not hunting ability. Rather, it’s reliability and toughness. Day in and day out, all season long, great guides are reliable. Our clients like to remind us that we

“get paid to hunt.” While this job is extremely rewarding, it doesn’t always feel that way.

Rain, snow or shine, you can’t call in sick. When you’re tired and sore, it takes some grit to keep going. Different types of hunting require different levels of fitness. Whatever the situation, a guide needs to be able to hunt hard all day, every day. The most talented hunter in the world wouldn’t make a great guide if he weren’t reliable.

More than just toughing it out and showing up, an excellent guide also has fun doing it. A big part of the job is having a smile on your face and a positive demeanor. A guide’s personality and character is an important part of making the hunt enjoyable. It makes the client feel at ease and lightens the mood even when the hunting is tough. Because at some time or another, the hunting will be tough!

It’s easy to be positive on the first day of the hunt. But on longer hunts, like a five or six-day elk or mule deer hunt, the shine wears off. Difficult hunting and poor weather can take the wind out of a hunter’s sails. It’s a guide’s job to keep working hard and to convey a sense of positivity. As most experienced hunters know, success can change in the blink of an eye.

Finally, a hunting guide must have an intimate knowledge of game patterns, movements and the animals being pursued. Skilled guides have the ability to anticipate their movements, habits and reactions to hunting pressure.

When it comes to judging the animals, a good guide knows more than if he’s looking at a decent buck. The guide should know about the animals and their different characteristics, when they reach trophy potential and how to judge a trophy.

Yet even a guide’s best advice doesn’t always get the job done. Here at SNS Outfitter and Guides, one of our excellent guides and camp managers, Benny Tillerson, tells the story of a client who had trouble listening to advice. One snowy morning, Benny and his hunter snuck to within 50 yards of a group of antelope.

“Now the buck is over on the right side of the group,” Benny whispered to his hunter.

“I can see the dang antelope,” the hunter snapped. And boom; he shot an antelope from the other end of the group, which was a doe.

“Why did you shoot that doe?” Benny exclaimed.

“I didn’t shoot a doe,” the hunter stubbornly replied.

“Well, somebody did,” Benny said. “And since you’re the only one with a rifle, there’s a pretty good chance it was you.”

There’s always a wild card and there are often surprises. Sometimes it’s a surly hunter. Sometimes it’s the weather or the animals. But no matter the situation, a great guide will remain positive, keep working hard and take it all with a sense of humor. Perhaps these qualities don’t only apply to great guides. These are also the qualities of great hunters.

Keep an eye out for the third and final part in this series. We will take a look at the things that have changed for hunting guides over the years, and the requirements of the modern hunting guide.

Family Matters! - Late Season Muley Hunt with Dad By: Dan Osgood

Early last year my dad (long standing San Diego SCI member Ray Osgood) called asking if I would be interested in deer hunting a late season in Colorado. Silly question. We would be joined by my uncle and cousin (Tom Sr. and Tom Jr.) who haven’t hunted with us in quite a few years. My dad and uncle used to hunt together often growing up, but over the years, well, life gets in the way. This trip looked to be fun regardless the outcome of the hunt as our families have a long history of great hunts dating back to our grandfathers.

We arrived to light snow and chilly temperatures...high temp of the week would be 24 degrees. Our season was 5 days and the plan was to hold out for quality mule deer bucks. My dad has had a passion for hunting big mule deer for 30+ years so I knew the goal would be wide, heavy, 4x4 or better...at least for the first 3-4 days. I would be hunting with my dad and my cousin and uncle were hunting together as well. The time together is always the best part of hunting for me. My dad introduced me to hunting almost 45 years ago and I have fond memories of every hunt I have ever been on with him whether it was chasing rabbits, shooting far too many rounds at doves, or pursuing his favorite...BIG mule deer (which for some reason, I really enjoy as well).

Tom Sr. has never been known to hold out very long especially once he sees a legal buck, regardless of where he is hunting. We threatened to take his ammo for the first day just to prevent him from being over anxious and shooting the first legal buck he saw. Needless to say, he was the first to connect on the evening of day one. I have to say he did a fine job of passing up quite a few before he couldn't take it any longer...he really likes

bucks with character and he found one.

Based on our day one experience, we all knew there was a possibility of a really good one. We all saw quite a few really nice bucks so we were confident we could be patient and not really risk tag soup.

Tom Jr. tends to be a bit more patient than his dad, so he was able to wait all the way until the evening of day number 2. He probably passed on 15-20 really nice bucks before he shot his. He was looking for a wide one and his definitely fits that description. Bravo!

Only my dad and I left to fill our tags. Due to his passion for big mule deer (a form of buck fever), my dad has taken quite a few true trophy bucks over the years and I have been fortunate to piggy back on his efforts and take a couple as well. We decided early on that it had to be a really big one to take the first couple of days.

I will admit it got harder with every really nice 4x4 I saw...but at the same time none of the bucks triggered the "this is the one" feeling over the next couple of days.

On day 3, my dad and I had one of our best days ever in the field together. In the morning, we probably saw 150 mule deer. Many were bucks and 4 or 5 whitetail (I had no idea any were in this part of Colorado), and a group of about 50 or more antelope with two really nice bucks. In the evening, we got really close to a group of Rocky Mountain Bighorn which included a nice ram. Shortly after, we almost got run over by a herd of migrating elk which included 4 bulls...I stopped counting at 124. It was a really great day, unfortunately no bucks taken.

On the morning of day 4 my dad and I decided to split up and head different directions. More of the same as we both saw many bucks but none of them were what we were looking for. I did however, sneak to within about 50 yards of 7 bull elk feeding their way back into the thickest timber on the mountain. They ranged from a fairly small 3 or 4 point raghorn to a decent 6 point with a really cool looking 5x5 in the mix. Temptation was getting stronger as I did seriously contemplate taking a nice even 4x4 that was fairly heavy but not exceptionally wide.

The weather was still snowy so we started out earlier for the evening hunt. Tom Jr. was joining me in the field and my dad went off to the opposite ridge from where I was headed. On this evening, something was different. We

were not seeing many animals at all. I was a little concerned and began wondering what seasonings I should use in my tag soup. It didn't take long for that to change because as soon as we started cresting a ridge, we saw 4 deer at close range and one was exactly what we were looking for. The bad news is that he/they saw us at the same time and decided it was time to go...down the ridge they went full speed ahead. While they were putting distance between us, I set up quickly. I had never used shooting sticks but there is always a first time. The one fatal flaw many mule deer have is to run a ridge away and then stop and look back. This not only provided me an opportunity but allowed for some extra adrenaline as my cousin, kneeling near me, begins repeatedly saying "I see his whole body...I see his whole body". Needless to say, due to my slightly different angle, I could not "see his whole body". I had practiced frequently in the weeks leading up to this hunt and my gun was zeroed at 275. As luck would have it, we ranged him at 278 yards. Despite being a little uncomfortable with the shooting sticks it became a bit of a surreal moment as everything slowed down to almost a stop and the buck stepped clear giving me a mostly broadside with slight quartering toward me view...the crosshairs froze in the center of his chest and I squeezed. Boom! Smack! I love that sound. I chambered another round but as I put the buck back in the scope, he tumbled over just a few feet from where he stood. Buck down. Tom Jr. and I high fived and hugged and high fived a few more times. As we walked to the buck, we realized that Tom Jr. seems to be a bit of a good luck charm for me as the he was with me when I got my last big buck. I'll have to find out his future hunting plans and plan accordingly.

As we got to the buck and were looking it over, we heard the familiar sound of a single gunshot coming from just over the ridge. Knowing that was the direction my dad headed we were excited and optimistic of his success.

When we returned to camp my dad’s success was obvious as his buck was already hanging. He harvested a really nice 4x4 within minutes of mine. It wasn't the BIG one he was looking for but he was happy with it just the same. It won’t make his “Wall of Fame” but is a dandy no matter how you look at it!

Four tags and four nice bucks. The success makes it fun but it was a great hunt made even better by sharing the time with my cousin, uncle, and especially my dad. Because of him I have a passion for all things outdoors. I just hope to instill the same passion in my children and be the father my dad has been to me. The stories we all shared of hunts past especially those my uncle and dad shared of the hunts together with their dads (our grandfathers) added an even a greater level of enjoyment to this trip. I am grateful for every moment and look forward to the next one!

Dan Osgood currently serves on the San Diego Chapter Board of Directors as the Membership Chairman.

California Pronghorn Project – Update 10

A lot has happened since our last update on the California Pronghorn Project, all positive. US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) is now preparing a proposal to re-introduce Sonoran Pronghorn into our target location on the Chuckwalla Bench. They are proposing to designate the herd as a “Non-Essential Experimental Population”, a category specified in the Endangered Species Act that allows a species to be introduced without having to prepare the onerous documentation that would normally be required.

The first stage of this process was to hold meetings on the proposal to solicit public input. USFWS held three such public meetings in El Centro, Blythe and Palm Desert on 7-9 November. Bob Smith attended the El Centro meeting and Leif Olsen (back from Italy!) attended the Palm Desert meeting. We noted three positive results:

• USFWS is clearly committed to the project and has assigned 3-4 enthusiastic staff to prepare the proposalwith a goal of publishing it in the Federal Register by April, 2018;

• The public input was consistently positive with no negative comments offered at the meetings;• Several important organizations have requested to be partners on the project, including Desert Wildlife

Unlimited, The Living Desert Zoo, US Border Patrol, and Mojave Desert Land Trust.

Our Pronghorn initiative is quickly maturing from a proposal to a real project. Our next big endeavor is to produce a Project Plan including a schedule, execution tasks, issues and options to resolve them, responsibilities of each partner, and a budget. We will be working closely with Arizona’s Sonoran Pronghorn Recovery Team to develop detailed procedures and to incorporate their lessons learned. In the near term we will identify a site for a temporary holding pen and drinker (guzzler) requirements, which we hope to complete this Winter. These two factors will be key to developing the Project Plan. Once we have a schedule and a budget, we will begin the process of identifying volunteers and funding to support the project.

Our project team, USFWS and the Sonoran Pronghorn Recovery Team are targeting December 2019 for the first transfer of animals from Arizona to the Chuckwalla Bench. After a few weeks in the holding pen to allow the pronghorns to acclimate, they will be released into the wild. At that point and for the foreseeable future, the health of the herd will be monitored with GPS collars and visual observation.

We are well on our way to meeting the goal for this project as described in our Chapter’s Strategic Plan. Our proposed date for initial re-introduction has slipped from June 2019 to December 2019 because the Recovery Team only conducts their capture events (the source of the animals to be transferred to us) in December.
